- Puff pastry — To achieve a crisp and flaky crust, make sure the puff pastry is thawed but still cold before using it.
Tips & Tricks
- If you prefer a spicier version, add some chopped scotch bonnet peppers to the jerk seasoning.
- Serve the Caribbean Beef Wellington with a side of coconut rice and black beans for a complete Caribbean meal.
- If you don't have jerk seasoning, you can make your own by combining spices like thyme, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Make sure to let the Wellington rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and keep the beef moist.
- For an extra touch of Caribbean flavor, garnish the Wellington with fresh cilantro or chopped scallions.

Slice the Caribbean Beef Wellington into thick portions and serve it on a platter. Accompany it with a side of coconut rice and black beans for a truly Caribbean experience. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped scallions for added freshness and color.

Arrange some fresh tropical fruits, such as sliced mangoes and pineapples, around the Wellington for an eye-catching display. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro or scallions over the top for a vibrant finishing touch.
